The ALUMNAE
NEWS
AND RECORD
Published by
THE ILLINOIS WOMAN'S COLLEGE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
VOLUME I JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS, AUGUST, 1922 NO. 1
Stronger Alumnae Association Assured
By VERA A. WARDNER, '21
We arc always making new beginnings, which of course aren't really beginnings but are fresher and more enthusiastic efforts in the direction we have chosen to take. So it is pleasant, at this time, to wipe our slate clean and begin again, with this issue of "The Alumnae News".
Those of you who were with us at our Annual Banquet where we inaugurated the beautiful Candle Lighting service, know that a greater number of I. W. C. girls were back than ever before. This in itself is a healthy sign, for it proves that interest in, and love for our Alma Mater is growing: and it is this interest and love that we have pledged ourselves to foster.
Our aims are high and our ambitions arc great for the furthering and developing of our Association; but no aim, however high, no ambition, however great, can ever be achieved unless our organization be put on a secure basis. This basis can be attained only by the following:
1. Increased membership
2. Increased loyalty
3. Increased effort
We need every I. W. C. daughter to join our
group. Think how the functioning of any organization is hindered when it is powerless to count on, or even get into touch with, the majority of those who ought to be numbered in its group!
We need, also, the loyalty and support of every Woman's College girl, whether graduated in '70 or '22. Our love for our college, after all, can be measured
only by what returns we make to it and by what active interest we take in it.
Lastly, effort must be made by all the Alumnae together, to go on, to grow, to complete our organization, and to establish it on a firm and secure footing: and this is the only way by which we may be assured of its success.
For years the Alumnae Association has been the weak point of the College. Now we are waking up; we are getting new energy; we are beginning to grow; and so we are appealing to every I. W. C. girl to do her share toward the achieving of our goal. Here are a few of the ways we suggest:
Become a member of the Alumnae Association. Take an interest in the work it is planning and executing, and aid it in any way possible.
Come back at Commencement time for class reunions and other college activities.
Keep your name and address on our files, and send us news of yourself or any alumnae friends from time to time.
Help us to instill the four year idea in the minds of the present and future I. W. C. students, in place of the two year college and two year university one which has been so general during the past years.
Through these and other means we feel that we may become a powerful working body; and no college can ever keep a permanent and worthy position without this organized support from its alumnae.
